Julia Cart is a self-taught photographer who studied art and French literature at UNC-Greensboro, theater arts at Goddard College in Vermont, and mime, movement and theatre at L'Ecole Jacques LeCoq in Paris. Cart served as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Senegal, West Africa. Her teacher and mentor was Fred Picker, a protégé of Ansel Adams. Beginning in 1989, she began her photographic journey in historic preservation and documentation, concentrating on the sea islands, back roads, and small towns of South Carolina.

Family roots in Charleston, and her Peace Corps experience in West Africa, both inspired and fueled her work in visual preservation of the Gullah culture: it's historical, cultural and artistic influence in the South Carolina Lowcountry. Cart works exclusively in black and white film, using large format cameras. For field and studio work she often uses an 1890s 8 x 10 camera with its original Zeiss lens. Cart develops and prints her work using both contemporary and antique printing processes. Her work is in corporate and private collections both in the U.S. and abroad, as well as permanent collections of the Gibbes Museum, S.C. State Museum, Smithsonian New Museum of African American History and Culture, and the American Embassies in Sierra Leone, West Africa, and Manama, Bahrain. (Julia Cart Photography)
